I don't expect a thank you, but admit I got misty-eyed when laying in CCU, 11 of "my kids" came traipsing in together to check on me. The nursing staff had asked me how many children I had because only immediate family was allowed; so I told them I had lost count but that anyone admitting to being one of mine should be let in.  If nothing else, I hope they remember this about me and continue to do the same. |
